Lanarkshire Social Circle Annual Show

The first weekend in December, members had their annual show in the premises of Newmains FC. Lanarkshire Social Club is very well respected throughout the country as one of the Premier distance clubs Like most good clubs they maintain their identity with such social events. The birds on show were in great order and with everyone having great expectations of winning a ticket. Well done to all who attended and special thanks to our secretary Dave McCaig.  
Four handling classes with four prizes each class got under way with members joining in some light banter about their chances.
